Time to get hot, sweaty and sandy. We got a hawt pineapple summer rolling in, so you better make sure you got your badonkadonk oils and coconut lanyards at the ready, cos you know when miami vrice is in town, there's going to be cleavage. Don't forget that 90+ chill factor or you'll be burnt by the spiciness of some of these tropical hip girators. Forecasts are also predicting a strong boogie front coming in from the deep, so all you hot boys and girls can expect some high returns when your out there juicing them toobs. All said, its looking like another perfect summer, see y'all there!

Via Brasil - Rush Hour Store Broadcast

6 selectors with an hour each from the depths of their Brazilian collections. I've yet to listen to the whole thing through yet, however looking at the selectors on offer you'd be hard pressed to not be satisfied with what they have to offer. And you better believe I posted this on a Sunday for a reason - day sorted!

1st hr - Antal (Cofounder of Rush Hour in Amsterdam) 2nd hr - Mr. Mendel 3rd hr - Jorn Konijn 4th hr - Ismael Ibrahim 5th hr - Palo Santo 6th hr - Alex Barck (Jazzanova)

Baker's Dozen - Muito Legal!

A very brief sampler of the incredibly rich and deep pool of sounds that is Brazil. Got some classics in there as well as some lesser known gems, however as 12 songs is not adequate for even covering a small minority of the bases, I'll keep updating this playlist in the future so make sure to bookmark it if you like what you hear!

Juarez Sant'ana- Nem Vem de Garfo

Trio Bach- Consolação

Paz e Futebol 2 - Sonar Kollektiv

Awesome second installation to the Paz e Futebol compilation series. Once again it covers output from Brazil that doesn't stray too far from jazz and soul. Kicking things off nicely is Raffaela Renzulli's 'Asking Eyes', a musical sunrise if ever I'd heard one. Darkness, in the form of spaced out jazz blues, suddenly turns into bright sunshine, you can picture yourself on the beach, smooth rhythms in the background and coconut in hand. From there it doesn't take long for things to warm up, Minas' 'Calma Mulher' and Quarteto Uai's 'Marcas' bring some funk into the equation if only for a brief moment as the following two tracks swing the shift back towards traditional Brazilian sounds.

Like the first instalment of Paz e Futebol, Jazzanova have managed not only to source the best of Brazil with the likes of Ed Motta and Eumir Deodato, but have extended their vision to the rest of the world with the likes of Hardkandy from England and Nathan Haines from New Zealand also featuring. Thus, the compilation is able to, and does, oscillate between new and old, familiar and strange, the whole way through.

For highlights its hard to go past songs that I already knew and loved before listening to this compilation like 'Daqui Pro Meier', however I'll certainly be going back to listen to 'Marcas', an infectious pop/funk tune made for listening on your way to, or at the beach. I'll also be coming back for the laid back jazzy groove 'Boa Noite Meu Filho', 'Dia De Furar Onda No Mar' for its unique marriage of Italian film score with Brazilian rhythm and finally Fafa de Belem's 'Naturalmente', a fierce groove that screams protest song thanks in no small part to Fafa's driving delivery that builds and builds, single handedly carrying the rest of the ensemble through energy alone.

Overall, its another solid compilation from Sonar Kollektiv, there's something for you no matter how far your journey into Brazilian music is. Just a reminder that if you do enjoy it, to first, make sure to check out Volume 1 of Paz e Futebol. Secondly, have a listen to our latest episode of Soundsweekly Radio where we covered world music. It features a great deal of Brazilian magic plus goodies from other corners of the globe, a mix that is sure to please!

Soundsweekly Radio Ep.13 - World Tour

Serious vibes. We haven't played much music of the worldly variety in the last few radio shows so we figured what better way to make up for it than a whole show full of exotic goodies. Narrowing down the track list to a reasonable length was difficult, with the first recording totalling a solid 3 hours and featuring more variety than a pack of Assorted Creams. However, in the interest of listenability, we've refined it to its absolute best, all tumpers, no fat, with a more coherent vibe through-out as well. So without further a-do, its time to grab your passport and head for your boarding gate, next stop ... the world!
